The claim
فيديو وصورة يوثقان استعدادات قوات حكومة لعملية عسكرية ضد جماعة الحوثي
Original review summary
The review found that the video shows military forces in eastern Libya, not Yemen’s Homeland Shield forces; Libyan accounts shared it on 17 May 2024 as footage of an anniversary event. The image was identified as U.S. Marines boarding an Osprey aboard the USS Makin Island off Somalia on 22 December 2020, not preparations for a landing in Hodeidah.[S1]
Additional context
The review notes that the video circulated alongside reporting about government-force movements and U.S. strikes against the Houthis; on 24 April 2025, U.S. Central Command said operations were continuing from two aircraft carriers. [S1]
